LarrySeaman grew up in west Texas and moved to Austin as a teenager. He dropped out of college after forming Standing Waves, a seminal force in Austin’s 1970's punk/ new wave scene.Seaman currently plays and records with Why Not Satellite. He teaches English at Del Valle Middle School and creates assemblage art. About his art he says,

"Myassemblages are 3-D collage of relics and cast-offs: bird bones, rusty metal, doll parts, pocket watches, spoons, wire, typewriters, teeth;whatever interesting junk I acquire. The pieces come together in old wooden clock boxes, letter trays, drawers, and windows. I housed one in Edison jar; a couple of the recent pieces left the frame altogether.

Once there’s a spark, getting into the process is easy. As a figure or pattern emerges or an idea develops, I add whatever seems to fit. Realizing what it needs next and working out the logistics is a challenge and great fun. Knowing when it’s done is the trickier proposition."
